The decorations and hors d'oeuvres differ at each, but
the message at the staff recognition
receptions held over the last few weeks was the same: The
contributions of staff celebrating
milestone anniversaries are integral to the success of The
Johns Hopkins University, its schools and
divisions.

Over the past two weeks, deans and administrators from
the schools of Public Health, Advanced
International Studies, Medicine and Nursing publicly
thanked staff celebrating service anniversaries
at receptions held at their respective schools, part of the
staff recognition program run by the
Office of Faculty, Staff and Retiree Programs.

Close to 700 staff members with five, 10 and 15 years
of service — 526 from Medicine, 132 from
Public Health, 14 from Nursing and nine from SAIS —
received self-chosen service awards in addition
to praise for their work in research, facilities
management, information technology and administration.

The last in the annual series of recognition
receptions will be held on June 26 at Homewood for
staff from the Carey Business School, Homewood Student
Affairs, Jhpiego, JHU Press, Krieger
School of Arts and Sciences, School of Education,
University Administration and Whiting School of
Engineering. For more information, contact Sondra Ponzi at
